Question about majors

<p>I haven’t made up my mind what I want to do in the future, but I am really interested in physics and psychology now. I plan to major in these two subjects. However, I know that they are totally unrelated. I wonder if it will look weird on my transcript when I apply for graduate school? Should I forgo either one of them and focus on the other since they are not related and are useless to each other? Or should I study what I have passion in? </p>

<p>P.S. I am not worried about the workload.</p>

<p>Any comment is appreciated!</p>

<p>I’m planning on majoring in Polisci and Physics. It’s not that weird. I don’t know why you’re majoring in those two, but I’m majoring in polisci and physics because they’re both something that i’m really interested in.</p>

<p>consider psych with a neuroscience concentration, and a minor in physics?</p>

<p>Take some introductory classes in both subjects and decide if you really want to double-major.</p>

<p>the short answer to ‘will it look bad on your transcript?’ is no. Many people double major, and frequently in unrelated subjects, such as hard science and english/foreign language. If you like both Psych and Physics, there is no reason not to try them both. However, your elective schedule will likely be limited to the Core requirements, unless you have AP/IB scores which fulfill those requirements.</p>

<p>But you also need to make sure you fulfill any grad school requirements; for a Psych PhD, for example, that might mean some biological science coursework. If you are thinking of Physics grad programs, then advanced math?</p>

<p>XX55XX hit the nail on the head…take some classes in them first before worrying about grad school implications. Most people change majors once they get into college. And even if you stay with these two, it shouldn’t be an issue at all.</p>
